Elmer - RE: "Be careful Paul, remember Psycho_clown heard a rumor that HP may be doing a K7 board..." Speaking of that guy, an AMD employee posts messages to his messageboard once in a while. Here are some of his posts: "I can't speak for AMD because that would be breaking my rules for posting! I personally like HALF SPEED cache. Do you guys? HALF SPEED cache rocks. I wonder if you guys know what I mean by HALF SPEED cache. That's all I am going to say for now" "I want to publicly state that when K7 comes out that I FEEL that Intel will be beaten harshly in their own benchmarks. We can keep this excitement within our little group because we all want to see Intel blind sided by K7 . I can't begin descibe how good I feel about our floating point performance or why I do but I have to say Intel is going to get caught with their pants down." "The registers numbers are way off and to compare something that Intel isn't even close to shipping is silly. The K7 speeds at 500mhz are faster than what they quoted so I'm 100% sure they're BS. I laughed so hard my gums bled. Don't worry people, K7 will be something to smile about." "I can't give you guys more detail. If Anand is basing things off of an alpha board that he didn't even really have then he's not doing his job well."
